It’s not like they’d really need Ford to do the mocap work himself anyway. Vin Diesel didn’t do any most of the physical performance for Groot over the years.
That’s exactly why I think he might be perfect for this particular role. General Ross isn’t a fun-loving fanboy, he’s a grouchy old soldier with little patience for foolishness.
In fact they’d barely need Ford to show up at all. They just need to license his scowl and map it on to a big red monster.
